Penfolds
Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz
Coonawarra, Limestone Coast, South Australia, Australia
Bin 128 is from the famous cool climate terra rossa soils of Coonawarra. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe dark berry fruit and rich spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum with notes of cacao, vanilla and slight citrus. Fine tannins, well balanced with lively acidity, long finish ending with fruit, earthy tones and sweet spice. Good now will also improve over next 3-5 years. Tasting Sample!

You know when you go on holidays and think you have brought enough wine from your cellar and you end up running out. This is what happened to us on the Gold Coast and we ended up buying 2 bottles of this excellent Shiraz to top up. From the very good 2015 vintage. Being a Shiraz from Coonawarra one expects more cool climate characteristics of Pepper Spice and dried meats but this has fuller Berry flavours with supple yet unyielding tannins. Drinking any Penfolds Bin No Red @2 years of age is probably committing infanticide but no more so than this beautiful 2015. Buy some and don’t touch it for 15 years at least! When I get home I will be buying a half dozen.

Very strong berry in the nose, a little tanic, heavy initial mouth feel.
